It talks about many aspects of character that a student actor needs to know according the situations. Some of the examples are the key elements that compares to the realistic situation.

This book has important information for the actor. A lot of this stuff you get in very expensive classes. It's material you should review again and again, whether you are interested in stage, TV, or motion pictures, these principals hold true. Read This!
